Sewing as therapy

Hello everyone,

This year has been a mix of good and bad. The bad is within me I admit. I have an amazing familly, I have a job (which on its own in my country is amazing) and I have all the things I am and I am able to be. Unfortunately this year I have let myself become very dark... as if i can't be happy even if everything is so good atm that i should be fully happy.

Instead of that I feel stressed, I feel tired, I feel disappointment and I care about people I should not care about. I cannot seem to help it. I am just in a very grim place.

So my husband asked me if i wanted to go somewhere because it was sunny outside I said no and told him he should take Mari for a walk so she spends time outside.
Later I found myself crying, triggered by seeing again just how nasty humans can be to others but mainly because of this sadness.

So my husband was a star and took Mari so I could have time for myself. I decided i should get myself busy so I made some accessories for my BJD.

I hope you like them:

The first one looks a bit messy and busy but i made it for a dress that they already own so it makes sense, i promise! The other two, i just made without making much of it. I think they look ok, what about you?

Lastly I leave a photo of Mari wearing her new Btssb mook blanket cape thing. I still do not get why grown up lolitas would like to own it but for a child is pretty nice, ever since i saw it i thought it would be perfect for Mari. ^_^;

 I have started jogging with a friend, we have arranged to do it twice a week. Lets see how long it will last and what effect it'll have on me. I hope it'll help.

Thank you, if you care enough to read all that depressing blah,
Love,
Jo
